Chapter VI Reflections Week 3 Social, Ethical, and Human Issues I do believe that it is very important that all students have access to a quality education. There are many reasons for the lack of technology in under privileged schools but the main issue, in my opinion, is money and priorities. The other reason is politics. “One of the most convincing arguments for technology-supported learning in the classroom, and political actions” (Redish, T & Williamson, J, 2009). The only way that I can see true equity in education throughout the state of Texas is when we have a state board of education and all funds are shared equality. As far as privacy is concerned, it is up to all of us to make sure that privacy is maintained at all times, and that we participate in ongoing professional development opportunities about privacy issues. As far as online safety is concerned, it is up to educators to teach students and parents about online safety. At the beginning of this school year I taught my students and team about safety and placed safety bulletins near all computers.
